“You have a thing going on with one of the women that works there don’t you?”
“I have in the past, but not now. They assist me in the ways that I explained to you the other day.”
“Ugh. They watch out for hot chicks that you think might need you. I forgot that you’re a bona fide stalker.”
“Hardly. I enjoy looking before a woman is willing to let me touch her sometimes.”
“Yep, still sounds like a stalker to me.”
Gabe shook his head as she pulled into the parking lot of the convenience store. “You are welcome to your interpretation Brandy. Would you like something, or would you like to come with me?”
“Oh I’d like to come with you, but not into the store. You said no sex. You’re a big meanie Gabe. I don’t like you anymore.”
Gabe laughed. “Darling, you are so dangerously beautiful. Undeniably beautiful and dangerous not only to yourself, but to all men.”
Brandy stuck her tongue out at him. “I’m not a slut. Get that through your thick skull.”
Gabe kissed her, long and hard. “Oh Brandy, if you were a slut you would be a danger to all mankind.”
Brandy shook her head at him. “Ha ha. Go away. Go annoy someone else for a while.”
Gabe shook his head back at her. “If your manner was as provocative as your dress towards all men you found attractive, you would be unstoppable.”
“Again, not a slut. It doesn’t matter how I dress. I can count the men I’ve been with on one hand. I plan for it to stay that way for a very long time. The next man I plan to go to bed with besides you is gonna be Mr. Right.”
“Uh huh. If only it were that easy.”
“Shut up. You’re romantic and horny so why can’t I be? I’m okay with you being my Mr. Right Now as long as you’ll let me go when I find my Mr. Right.”
Gabe smiled. “That could take many years Brandy. Your craving for a child would break you by then. You’d have my child at your breast and another at your feet, living very comfortably wherever you chose. Why must you look for your supposed true love when he may not exist when I can make all of your dreams come true right now?”
Brandy lit a cigarette. “You are so good at contradicting yourself. You tell me that you think you could love me. But then you practically laugh in my face when I talk about finding my true love. I noticed that you didn’t mention that we’d be married when I was having your kids. I’m not gonna be your mistress forever, no matter what you give me. You can’t make me love you. You can’t make your wife love you. Sometimes I wonder if you know what love is.”
“I know what love is darling, and it has never been what Leslie feels for me. Would you like anything? I bought you a carton of cigarettes, though I don’t like the idea of contributing to your chances for lung cancer.”
“I think there are a lot of other things that give people cancer that aren’t required to have warnings and that there are many cures for cancer Gabe. Chad had a laptop when we first got together and we could usually get a free trial for internet access. He was never home. We didn’t have cable most of the time unless we were staying in a weekly hotel and I got really bored. So I can tell you a lot of interesting stuff I learned on the internet.”
“Why wouldn’t you let me buy you a laptop?”
“You’ve bought me enough. I’ll save up to buy myself one. Um, can I have a strawberry soda and a plain chocolate candy bar? No nuts. Thanks. Now walk away. I wanna look at your butt.”
Gabe laughed. “I am so glad you walked into Gabe’s Place darling. You amuse me greatly and oh do you turn me on.”
“Shut up. If you’re not gonna have sex with me, don’t talk about how I turn you on. Walk slowly and stop a couple times on the way to the store.”
Gabe gave her an amused smile. “The store is ten feet away Brandy.”
“Uh huh. That’s what you get when you screw me a lot and you’re really good at it, then you stick me in rehab for two weeks and when I get out you tell me no sex Brandy. We’re much too busy. Your wife is home and she’s decided she’s not too fat to have sex with you huh?”
“No. Well, she is home but she still more often than not chooses not to have sex with me. Rehab was necessary. Do you not feel much better?”
Brandy shrugged. “I guess. Doesn’t mean I’m not horny.”
“Oh darling. We’re going to have such fun together.”
“Yep. Bye Gabe. Remember what I said.”
Gabe winked at her. “Yes Brandy.”
Gabe got out of the truck and walked very slowly to the store, stopping twice. A woman going into the store gave him a strange look, but he smiled at her and she smiled back. Brandy thought that it had just dawned on her how attractive he was. She sat back and enjoyed the show and the fact that she was probably driving him just as crazy as he had driven her since she’d met him.
Gabe didn’t take long in the store, and when he came out he walked backwards towards the truck. When he got in Brandy said “You’re a smartass. But thank you.”
Gabe smiled. “You’re welcome. Do you need anything before we start our day of driving?”
Brandy sighed. “For you to not think I’m a dumb slut anymore. And to relent and have sex with me. My new bed is really comfortable remember?”
“Yes darling. I remember. I don’t think you’re dumb, or a slut. I want you to be prepared for your driving test. Practice makes perfect. The more experienced you are, the less likely you are to get into an accident.”
Brandy backed out of the parking spot. “Not if it’s someone else’s fault or if something goes wrong with your car unexpectedly.”
“That is why you practice defensive driving and perform routine maintenance on your vehicle, or have someone more qualified perform it.”
“Yeah, sure. So you seriously want me to drive around Brunton? This town is so damned boring.”
“It certainly can be. Drive wherever you want. Stop whenever you want and I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
“Why does that sound less appealing now that I know it’s true?”
“You’ve got me darling. It sounds very appealing to me. I love the idea of taking care of you. All of your needs and desires.”
“Yeah.”
Brandy was tired of talking to Gabe. His contradictory qualities and viewpoints drove her crazy almost as much as his body did. They were silent as she drove up and down the streets of Brunton. Brandy was bored stiff by the time she was hungry enough to stop for lunch an hour and a half later. She pulled into a drive through and told Gabe that she wanted to eat in the car to see what he’d say. He shrugged and she held her sigh, wondering if Gabe would ever make even partial sense to her.
They ate in the parking lot of the restaurant. When they were finished, Brandy drove some more. Gabe quizzed her on questions that might be included in the written taste. She thought that most of them were obvious or at least should be, and she knew that she could pass both parts of the test. She told Gabe so again when he dropped her off at her house that evening but he smiled and told her he’d see her the next morning. She stood at the end of her driveway and flipped him off as he drove away. He hadn’t bothered to kiss her, though he had given her a hug and ran his hands over her ass.
The next two weeks passed almost as slowly as her time in rehab. Brandy wanted to take the driving test herself after the third day to prove that she could pass it, but Brenda’s car was broke down and she didn’t know anyone else in the neighborhood yet. She did pass her test with flying colors on the day he allowed her to take it. She gave him a triumphant smile as the woman at the DMV handed her her drivers’ license.
Gabe dropped her car off to her that night. It made Brandy feel strange because his wife followed him in her SUV with their son. It was a bright shiny red with license plates that said ‘Les 4 you.’ She had seen it around town a few times, but she’d always thought that it meant ‘Leslie for you’ since the owner’s name was Leslie. With Gabe’s stories of his wife though, Brandy
was beginning to wonder if it didn’t mean what most people probably thought it meant without knowing that the truck’s owner was named Leslie. Brandy pondered that night that maybe Gabe’s wife didn’t really love him because her sexual desires ran in the other direction. Then she decided she didn’t really want to know.
Gabe insisted on training her though Sabrina and Chloe were both working the bar most nights. Chloe was friendly, but Sabrina didn’t bother to hide her dislike of her new coworker. Brandy thought it might have something to do with the fact that Gabe openly and frequently put his hands on her ass.
But on the one night she worked alone with Chloe and Gabe, when she said as much to Chloe while Gabe was in the bathroom, Chloe told her that Sabrina didn’t seem to like anybody. Brandy was feeling sexually deprived. Gabe still wouldn’t have sex with her even when he decided she was ready to be let loose behind the bar without his watching her every move.
Chapter 4
When Gabe walked by on the way to his office halfway through her first real shift, Brandy couldn’t take it anymore. The bar was dead. Chloe and Sabrina were at the other end of the bar, reading magazines. She approached Chloe and said “I’ll be right back.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow. “Okay.”
Sabrina chuckled. “Gonna get laid on the time clock huh?”
“No. I need to talk to Gabe.”
“Yeah right Brandy.”
“I do. It’ll take five minutes, I promise. It’s not like there’s a lot of people here right now anyway.”
Sabrina started to say something, but Chloe gave her a look. “Leave her alone Sabrina. I know what you did with that girl in Gabe’s office last week after closing time. If she needs to talk to Gabe, she needs to talk to Gabe.”
Sabrina sighed. “Yeah, whatever Brandy. I guess we’ll have to get used to it, huh Clo? With her being his new favorite girl and all.”
She couldn’t hear Chloe’s response. She walked down the hall to Gabe’s office and knocked on the door. Her heart was pounding in her chest.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Brandy.”
“Come in Brandy.”
She opened the door. He was sitting behind his desk, looking at a stack of papers in front of him. He looked up at her and smiled. “What can I do for you Brandy? Do you need money?”
“I need you Gabe.”
His grin got wider. “That’s what I like to hear.” He pushed the chair back from the desk and patted his lap. “Come here darling.”
Brandy settled herself in his lap. It wasn’t particularly comfortable, but she was too turned on to care because his tongue was in her mouth and he was reaching around to undo her bra. A few breathless minutes later she pulled back.
“Gabe can we move to the couch?”
“Patience darling.”
“I’m supposed to be working right now you know.”
He laughed. “You’re the one that came in here and attacked me.”
“I didn’t attack you. I would really like to have sex. Can we do this? Because I can already tell that I’m going to take shit from Sabrina when I go back out there. She didn’t seem to like me when you were training me. I think it might have been because you kept feeling my ass all the time though.”
“I can’t help myself Brandy. Your body is spectacular.”
“Yeah, thanks. So is yours. Now come on Gabe. I want to have sex with you. I thought guys were supposed to be the ones that had to beg the girl to do it, not the other way around.”
“I won’t make you beg me love. Just give me a few more minutes. Haven’t you ever experienced the pleasures that only come after you’ve let yourself feel the anticipation?”
“Haven’t you ever heard of being sexually frustrated? I’m pretty damned sexually frustrated. I wanted to wait until after my shift but I saw you and knew that I couldn’t. C’mon Gabe, I just wanna get laid.”
Gabe chuckled. Brandy gave him a dirty look and got up off of his lap. He stood and swept her into his arms, carrying her to the couch, lying her down and reaching to pull the hair band from her hair. He buried his face in her hair.
“You smell so good Brandy. Women that smoke don’t usually smell that good.”
“Thanks for telling me that I don’t stink. Now are you gonna screw me?”
“Oh yes I am. I will screw you into a pleasant oblivion that will leave you walking on air for the rest of your shift. Then I’ll pleasure you for hours back at your house after you get off. You are truly going to get off after you get off. Over and over again.”
“Promises, promises. How come you wouldn’t screw me for a whole month and now I walked in and you were like, yeah I’ll screw you now and I’ll screw you later?”
Gabe chuckled. “I wanted you to know a little of what I felt like when I watched you for all those months and wasn’t able to have you since you were with that fool Chad.”
“Uh huh. Get naked. Because if you don’t do it soon, I’m gonna say something straight out of a cheap porn flick.”
Gabe smiled. “I’d love to have you talk dirty to me.”
“Maybe later. Please oh please get naked for me. I’ll get naked too; because I’m not gonna wait until you’re done getting naked. And you’d better have a rubber because if you don’t you’re gonna get me off anyway. I don’t have time to get you off like that because you take forever.”
“I have condoms darling. I’ve missed the sight of your naked body. Of course I believe it is forever locked in my mind.”
“The feeling is mutual. Now let’s do this. I can almost feel you inside of me already.”
When they were both stripped and Gabe had put the condom on, Brandy lay back on the couch. When he was inside of her she groaned because it felt so good she could hardly stand it. He started to move, but she stopped him.
“Hold on a minute. I want to feel you.” She whispered the rest into his ear and when he complied she groaned again. “Oh my god Gabe. It is wrong to feel like this. It has to be.”
Gabe chuckled. “Anticipation darling. It’s been building for weeks now. Imagine how it would feel if I didn’t love you for months. Then our coupling would truly be explosive.”
“That’s not fair. You’d still be having sex with your wife. I would so have to find a boyfriend if you did that to me.”
“I thought you were looking for Mr. Right.”
“I am. I’d just have to hope that I found him a lot quicker. You can move again.”
Brandy was soon lost in the pleasure that Gabe’s body gave hers. He made sure that she had an orgasm and when he had come to his own; he withdrew from her and discarded the condom in the wastebasket under his desk. Brandy lie back on the couch and let out a contented sigh.
“I need a cigarette. Can I smoke in here? Sabrina will be even more pissed if I walk outside to smoke before I go back to work.”
“Go ahead. I’ll pay the fine if someone finds out. It’s not that much anyway. It’s a ridiculous law in my opinion. Beer and cigarettes go together. It’s upset many bar owners because sometimes customers go outside for a cigarette and don’t bother to come back in.”
“Yeah, I could see that. Do you have a cigarette? My purse is under the bar.”
Gabe took a pack out of his drawer and handed her a cigarette, a lighter and an ashtray. “So, are you enjoying your night so far?”
“I feel way better now, but you’re talking about the job of course. It’s dead tonight and Sabrina doesn’t like me. Why don’t you fire her? The tips are much better when I just work with Chloe.”
“Sabrina is one of the few women that I’ve hired that is capable behind the bar. She could teach at a bartending school, though I think they’re rather silly places myself.”
“You don’t realize when you’re insulting someone do you? Chloe is good behind the bar. I think I’m going to do just fine too.”
“Of course darling. I meant no insult to you or Chloe.”
“Uh huh. I guess I’d better get dressed and get
back out there.” She put her cigarette out in the ashtray and dressed quickly. “You’d better be really good to me tonight. Make me forget all about the fact that you insulted me again.”
“I think very highly of you darling. Do you need money? How is your car running?”
“I wouldn’t mind some money. I do need more clothes. I think I bought most of my jeans a bit too tight. And I wouldn’t mind some more of those bras that you helped me pick out. They make my boobs look bigger and they’re comfortable too. Oh, and some more of those panties. I used to sleep in a nightshirt and now I sleep in a bra and panties.”
“Oh, what a beautiful sight that must be.” Gabe turned to the safe and pulled out an envelope full of cash. He threw it to her without bothering to count it. “If you need more just ask. And your car is running okay?”
“It’s great.” She kissed him. “Thank you. I’ll see you later Gabe.”
“Oh yes you will my beautiful Brandy. You can count on it.”
When Brandy got back out to the bar, Sabrina gave her a look that could kill. She thought she heard the word whore as she walked by, but knew for sure that she heard Chloe tell Sabrina to shut up again. The night got busier and cleanup went quickly between the three of them. The tips were decent but again, not as good as on the nights when she had worked with just Chloe.
Gabe was standing next to his truck when she walked outside. He gave her a wide grin. “Are you ready to experience another night of mind blowing sex? Or a few hours anyway. I can’t stay with you all night I’m afraid.”
“Married men never can. I guess I’ll have to get used to it until I find myself a man that’s all mine.”
“Take your time darling. You might fall in love with me.”
“Sure I will Gabe.” She shook her head as she walked away from him.
It was a pleasurable night but Gabe made her try one of the dirty things that’d he whispered in her ear. She liked it during the act itself, but thinking about what he had done made her tell him that she’d never do it again.
A few nights later Brandy came to the conclusion that Gabe was screwing Chloe. It bugged her. She tried to stay away from him for a while, but she soon became too horny to worry about the fact that Gabe was sleeping with his wife and Chloe as well as her.
